    Just finished 1st song (which i was nervous about, cause it's my 1st song with Killian on my own - on a Solo project)
    I now feel confident to keep working on both my collaboration projects and solo projects. Happy with and loving both:)

    Thank you!! - Love it, killer song and now it has a cool indie rock factor. I really appreciate everything Killian brought to the song. Many many thanks Killian:)

    His sense of melody, emotion, and balance is unmatched. Every element he adds feels intentional and enhances the story I’m trying to tell as an artist.

I am from England originally but live in Los Angeles, I have performed all over the world as a musician and I have also recorded in some amazing recording studios with big artists as a session musician. I have been producing, mixing, and mastering everyday for the last 10 years! I have helped many artists find a path to Management, Publishing and Record deals.

  17. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  24. A: I work with a lot of singers/writers on Sound Better.

  25. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  28. A: 100% satisfaction. I want them to love the work. If i believe in the music i will always try to get it in front of the right people.

  33. Q: What's your typical work process?

  34. A: My work process starts with listening to the song or references several times and feeling the vibe. I then come up with a game plan of how I can help bring the song to the next level. I love to add my own taste/vibe to the track while understanding/maintaining the artists vision. It is all about team work!

  35. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  36. A: They ask if their track can be played on the radio or signed by a big label. I say yes sure!! Let me help you to get it to that level

  37. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  38. A: I make a lot tracks from start to finish... Artists will send me the basic song idea, let me know what they are hoping to achieve and i help them get to the finish line. I also mix and master fully produced/recorded tracks to a "Radio Ready" standard. A lot of times i will also help them get their music in front of publishers/labels and managers through my contacts here in Los Angeles.

  39. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  40. A: That having more instruments and tracks means better sounding songs/mixes. Its all about doing whats best for the song! Less is sometimes more but then again sometimes MORE IS MORE!! It's all about the song!

  41. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  42. A: I like to find out what music they love and what vision they had when they created the song! This is by far the most important thing!

  43. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  44. A: 1. Piano 2. Headphones 3. Laptop 4. Apollo 5. Neumann Mic
